Realm of the Night God

At this moment, Zhang Changchun took out an object, which was a wooden box. The wooden box was not large, only about the size of an adult's palm. On the wooden box, there was also a talisman stuck to it.

What the wooden box was for, no one in the scene knew except for Zhang Changchun. The talisman on the wooden box was also unknown, as it was stuck to the box, and no one could see it clearly, so no one in the scene could recognize it.

However, Zhang Changchun took out the wooden box at this time, and it was clear that there must be something extraordinary inside, so everyone's gaze was fixed on the wooden box in his hand.

The laughter stopped, and Zhang Changchun suddenly wiped the smile off his face, his expression becoming serious. Then, under everyone's gaze, he ripped off the talisman stuck to the wooden box.

The moment the talisman left the wooden box, it immediately turned to ashes and was blown away by the mountain wind. The wooden box, on the other hand, began to shake violently, as if something was about to burst out from inside.

It was clear that the talisman stuck to the wooden box earlier was used to suppress the box, or more accurately, to suppress the thing inside the box. So, without the talisman, the wooden box was having such a strong reaction.

Zhang Changchun saw this and quickly opened the shaking wooden box. A strong Yin Qi burst out from inside the box the moment it was opened.

This scene made everyone's face change color, even the ghost who was ready to watch the show had a drastic change in expression.

With their knowledge, they naturally knew that this strong Yin Qi was transformed from a ghost, and a ghost that could emit such strong Yin Qi must be extremely powerful.

The old man's soul body was solid, looking almost like a real person. A powerful energy fluctuation was emitted from his soul body.

Compared to the ghost who was watching the show, the old man's soul body was not as solid, and the energy fluctuation emitted was not as strong. But this was referring to the ghost's state when it had just come out of the Soul Suppression Tower. The latest chapters are uploaded first on M|V|LE3MPYR.

Now, compared to the old man, the ghost was no match, whether in terms of the solidity of its soul body or the energy fluctuation emitted.

If the ghost had discovered the old man when it had just come out of the Soul Suppression Tower, it would have been extremely happy, because if it could swallow the old man, its power would have increased greatly, and it might even have broken through to the Ghost King realm.

However, seeing the old man appear now, it didn't feel happy at all, but instead, its face turned very ugly, because it knew that it was no match for the old man, and if they were to fight, it would be the one to be swallowed.

The old man's appearance made everyone in the scene very surprised, with Zhang Changqing being the most surprised.

Zhang Changqing stood still, looking at the old man in disbelief, his face filled with shock and incredulity, like an ordinary person seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

"Father!"

Zhang Changchun addressed the old man with great respect.

His one word "father" made everyone in the scene, except for Zhang Changqing, change their expression again.

Zhang Changqing reacted from his shock, his face turning extremely ugly, even more so than the ghost who was watching the show.

The old man nodded slightly, then swept his gaze over everyone in the scene. When his gaze fell on Zhang Changqing, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Heh heh, Changqing, long time no see."

The old man took the initiative to greet Zhang Changqing, who looked ugly and pulled Wang Yiming beside him, slowly retreating backward.

"What, you're not happy to see your uncle?"

The old man smiled and asked, his smile very kind and warm, but Zhang Changqing looked like he had seen a poisonous snake, his expression not only ugly but also panicked.

"I didn't expect you to turn to the ghost path after your death."

Zhang Changqing pulled Wang Yiming backward while speaking in a low voice. The old man saw this but didn't stop him.

"I have too many things that I can't let go of, so I have no choice but to take a detour and use underhanded tactics. I have no choice but to use this strategy."

The old man smiled and opened his mouth, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness.

"You set up this trap today just to get this ghost, and you know that your strength is not comparable to this ghost's. So, you used deceitful means to gather us here, to weaken this ghost's power, and then you can reap the benefits without lifting a finger!"

Zhang Changqing's voice was low and calm, and he suddenly understood many things after combining what Zhang Li had said earlier.

The old man's expression remained unchanged, and he gently shook his head at Zhang Changqing.

"You're only half right. I do want to get the ghost suppressed by the Soul Suppression Tower, and if I get it, I'll have a high chance of becoming the Ghost King. Once I break through to the Ghost King Realm, my strength will not only increase significantly, but I'll also be able to recondense my physical body. However, this is only one reason. There's another reason - I want to take back the Soul Suppression Tower."

After a brief pause, the old man continued to smile.

"You used to be part of the Zhang family, so you should know what the Soul Suppression Tower means to us. Now that the world is in chaos, having the Soul Suppression Tower in hand will give our Zhang family an extra strong card. So, I've decided to take it back."

As he said this, the old man shook his head with a helpless expression.

"The ghost suppressed by the Soul Suppression Tower is too powerful, and its strength far surpasses mine. Without a strong helper, our Zhang family's power alone is no match for it. If I open the Soul Suppression Tower without preparation, not only will I fail to get the ghost, but I'll also bring disaster to our Zhang family. So, to achieve my goal safely, I had to use this strategy."

The old man spoke with a helpless tone, but Zhang Changqing listened with anger.

"So, you're using us as pawns?"

Zhang Changqing's angry voice was like a thunderclap, and his footsteps stopped as his panic subsided.

"Heh, why put it that way? This isn't using you as pawns; it's a win-win situation. You help me, and I'll pay you a reward. Isn't that fair and reasonable?"

The old man swept away the helplessness on his face and revealed a smile again, speaking as if he was addressing everyone present.

"That's good. Now that your goal has been achieved, why are you still setting up a restriction barrier to prevent us from leaving?"

Zhang Changqing suppressed his anger and continued to question, knowing that he couldn't break through the restriction barrier in his current state. He could only pin his hopes on others.

However, with his uncle's appearance, even his hopes of relying on others disappeared, because his uncle's strength was overwhelming, and in his eyes, his uncle was the strongest existence present, with no one able to shake his uncle's power.

So, if he wanted to leave, he could only start with his uncle!

The old man laughed and then smiled at Zhang Changqing.

"Changqing, you're wrong. This restriction barrier was set up by Changchun, and it's also Changchun who wants to keep you here. This is a matter between you two brothers, and it has nothing to do with me."

The old man explained calmly, but this explanation almost made Zhang Changqing furious!

The restriction barrier was indeed set up by Zhang Changchun, and it was also Zhang Changchun who wanted to keep them there. But if these weren't instructed by his uncle, even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't believe it.

Looking at Zhang Changchun's respectful attitude at the moment, not daring to say a word, with an air of everything being controlled by his father, it didn't seem like someone who dared to make decisions on his own.

So, Zhang Changqing didn't believe the old man's words at all.

Not to mention Zhang Changqing, but the others present also didn't believe it. In this situation, it was unlikely that many people would believe such words.

"No matter what, I used to be part of the Zhang family, and you, old man, were once my most respected uncle. When I heard that the Zhang family was in trouble, I still put aside my prejudices against the Zhang family and rushed to support them. This shows that the Zhang family is still important to me!"

Zhang Changqing suppressed his inner anger and tried to make his tone and attitude more respectful.

The old man's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled at Zhang Changqing.

"Heh, Changqing, what do you want to say?"

Zhang Changqing took a deep breath and then responded in a low voice.

"I just want to leave with my disciple immediately."
